Large 3.5 Inch Albertosaurus Theropod Dinosaur Tooth. Albertosaurus was a somewhat smaller version of its more famous relative T-Rex growing to just over 30 feet long. Albertosaurus may be a direct ancestor of T-Rex. Unlike T-Rex, Albertosaurus had two short bony crests above its eyes and was also older than T-Rex at 70 million years old. It is found only in the Judith River Formation of Montana and Canada. This large 3.5 inch brown tooth, which was found on a private ranch in Montana, is one of the largest for the species. It is very colorful, complete and original with some serrations. This tooth has no restoration and is very large for an Albertosaurus. A T-Rex tooth of this size would sell for more than $7500. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP

 
Realized $1,080
